This is an update for you on our procedures as we navigate the COVID-19 (Corona Virus) epidemic.  Our first concern is the health and safety of our employees and customers.  We know, however, that business must go on.  Our store is currently open and operating on our regular business hours.  The lobby is closed to walk in traffic and some of our employees will be working from home. Thankfully none of our staff or customers to our knowledge have been infected.

In an attempt to decrease the amount of human interaction, we are encouraging our clients to use our online file transfer for sending files.  You can access our website at https://www.londonky.minutemanpress.com

You can reach us via phone at 606-862-9195. Call us and we can discuss the best way to serve your printing needs safely. Please stay safe. – Garry Conley

Servpro

Due to the current threat of the Coronavirus, and other illnesses, I just wanted to reach out to let you know that we are trying to help the community by offering a discounted NEW service, to assist in being proactive regarding these sicknesses. We have had Several businesses (hospitals, clinics, schools, nursing homes, etc.) already contact us about this service, so I wanted to share it with you as well.

We recently acquired an Electric Static Sprayer, that we accompany with a special hospital-standard cleaning product (which the CDC is recommending). This approach is used to provide proactive cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting for a specific area, or building.  We follow an industry-standard procedure, that reaches areas/crevices that cannot be seen or touched by human, thereby, prohibiting human error (whereby, a person is wiping down a surface/missing spots).

A lot of businesses are publicizing that that are taking preemptive measures to help control the spread of these viruses, in an effort to be safer for the public, and to calm their minds as well. So this is very beneficial for any building that has public traffic.  There is no down-time for the buildings that we service, and it can be done on any day of the week/weekends, and at any hour you request (preferably after hours).  This service is in extreme high demand, and there is only limited equipment so it’s basically a first come, first serve type of situation. For more information, contact Servpro:

Our mission at Shoe Sensation is to provide quality and brand name footwear for the entire family. As our stores are in your home towns, the safety of our customers and our employees is our top priority as we navigate through the Covid-19 Global Pandemic. Some of our local stores are closed to the public, however there is a provision in some state’s orders that allow us to continue to provide items for essential personnel in healthcare, the service industry, and select industrial companies or factories producing such items.

Through the essential goods provision we are able to provide curbside pick-up at select stores.

South Central Small Business Development Center

Many of you have been asking what help is available for small businesses.  Here’s what we know right now:

Yesterday, Governor Andy Beshear submitted the Economic Injury Disaster Loan assistance declaration to the Kentucky SBA District office in order to access Disaster Assistance under the Corona-virus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act that was signed by the President.

This declaration enables Kentucky small businesses and non-profits to make a request for an Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL). Limited information is available online at: https://www.sba.gov/funding-programs/disaster-assistance or you can contact the SBA disaster assistance customer service center at: Call 1-800-659-2955 (TTY: 1-800-877-8339) or e-mail disastercustomerservice@sba.gov. It may take up to 72 hours for the SBA to create the necessary forms and update the website to allow application.

As far as we know right now, these funds will only be available as loans up to $2 million at 3.75% with up to 30 year repayment term.  There are no grants at this time.  While waiting for the website to allow applications, I recommend that you prepare the documentation necessary to make application.

It’s important to understand that while EIDL loans can be a lifeline, they will take time to acquire and not all businesses will qualify.  I highly recommend that you take action now to preserve cash and protect assets.  Do the hard stuff first.

If you think South Central Kentucky Small Business Center can help, please contact me: rodney.kuhl@uky.edu or by phone at 606-454-7042.
